Islington Clean Air Parents
Air pollution is a health emergency
3 children in an average Islington classroom have asthma
88 people die each year in Islington from air pollution
The majority of Islington air pollution comes from vehicle emissions
We believe all children have the right to breathe clean air and we campaign to improve air quality in Islington
Air pollution levels inside and outside Islington’s schools should be below World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended limits of 20mg to ensure the safety of all our children
What we want
A reduction in traffic across the borough to create clean air streets that are safe for our children to walk, cycle and scoot to school.
To build green infrastructure on our streets to allow children to engage with nature, increase biodiversity and reduce the effects of climate change.
Our main focuses are:
Creating school streets
Forming clean air zones around schools
Increasing green spaces
Reducing engine idling around schools
Anyone living in Islington is welcome to join us as we campaign for clean air around the Borough. If you have children of school age here in Islington we would love to support your school in improving air quality and outcomes for all children.
When you join Islington Clean Air Parents, you will receive our newsletter which keeps you up to date on our activities, actions you can take, events and meetings.
